Takita Residence

The restored Takita Residence (c 1850) was the home of a shipping magnate. Inside are replicas of bishu-kaisen (local trading ships) and displays of ceramics, lacquerware and furniture. Look for the suikinkutsu, a ceramic jar buried in the ground so that it rings like a koto (Japanese musical instrument) when water drips into it.
